Large Shower Trays: A Huge Benefit to Your Bathroom

Large shower trays are a luxury; if you’ve got the space in your bathroom, the options available to you are almost endless! Large shower trays provide a base for roomy, spacious showers, and of course, roomy, spacious showering experiences! Long practiced in the East, bathing as a ritual is becoming more important in the modern to those in the West. People who purchase large shower trays desire open plan, luxurious, relaxing showers, where they can unwind and reflect.

As a favourite in homes with open spaces, large shower trays can be used in smaller shower rooms as a predominant feature, or alternatively, even in wet rooms or minimalist styled bathrooms. Large shower trays are widely available across the UK than ever, in different shapes, sizes, materials and fitting options. Below is a short guide to large shower trays, their styles, shapes, sizes and what’s available.

So what are large shower trays and what are their available sizes?

Large shower trays are defined as shower trays measuring between 1000mm through to 1700mm. They start from 1000mm x 1000mm shower trays and 1200mm x 1200mm. Also generally regarded as large shower trays are 1200mm x 900mm shower trays, and up to 1700mm x 700mm, with some sizes in between. Also available in (slightly) smaller sizes but also considered to be larger shower trays due to their length is the 1000mm x 800mm, 1200mm x 760mm, 1200mm x 800mm.

What are some Large Shower Tray Shapes?

Large shower trays are available in a number of shapes: there are square shower trays, rectangle shower trays, quadrant shower trays, offset quadrant shower trays, pentangle and offset pentangle shower trays (also known as neo angle shower trays) and u or d shape shower trays. There are also a range of dedicated shower trays, such as bow-rectangular and walk-in shower trays available to suit specific shower enclosures

How can Large Shower Trays be fitted?

Large shower trays come in a choice of fitting options, which depends on the tray’s design. You can choose to fit your large shower tray flat to the floor, which involves the installation of the plumbing and drainage underneath the flooring. Or when installing plumbing under the floor is an issue, some choose to install a platform, which is designed to give a minimalist wet room look. Installing a platform essentially is creating a raised floor area, nestling or ‘sinking’ your shower tray into the platform ‘floor’ level.

A shower tray platform is generally made to blend in with the bathroom tiling and surrounds, and gives an appearance that the shower tray is actually built into the floor (hence the wet room look). Some choose a shower tray with a riser leg and panel set, enabling easy access to plumbing and maintenance. Some leg and panel packs also have an adjustable high or low setting. In addition, some large shower trays come with a leg set (such as MX Easy Plumb Shower Trays). These large shower trays can be adjusted easily and serve a purpose of hiding pipe work. LWCC offer a low profile shower tray with an optional leg and panel set on all of their large shower trays.

Generally, what are large shower trays made of?

Most popular materials for large shower trays are stone resin or stone resin acrylic-capped, with some standard acrylic shower trays measuring up to 1400mm in length. Some favour stone resin shower trays for aesthetic reasons – these shower trays have a classic but contemporary look and a solid appearance. In contrast, some choose acrylic shower trays due to their ease of installation and because they’re lightweight. Many acrylic shower tray manufacturers have created products that are as sturdy as stone resin and have lifetime warranties, so this is also a reason for their increasing popularity.

Both stone resin shower trays and acrylic shower trays are comparatively affordable. The difference between the two mainly is the weight, style and appearance. Often, the choice is based on the fitting option, the manufacturer and personal preference. Where are the best large shower trays found? Manhattan Showers, MX Group and London Water Closet Company (LWCC) are major UK manufacturers that supply large shower trays to online bathroom company BathroomTrade (co.uk).

These products, as mentioned above, are available in this online bathroom store and these large shower trays are available in vast selection of sizes and shapes, depending on the manufacturer. Large shower trays are certainly a luxury, due to their size, spacious room for showering and there’s almost certainly one available in a size to suit your bathroom layout!
